@anonymous: "I have set up the power on password and it doesnt come on 
after cycling the computer on and off. How can I prevent 
unauthorized users from accessing my computer?"
    @SaltPeter: "The bios usually has 2 passwords, a supervisor password for bios access only
and a system wide password which prompts on system boot. Consult your
documentation for the motherboard.

    @audetweld: "... and make sure you don't forget the supervisor password!  You'll be 
in a fine pickle when you need to get in there and can't remember the 
magic word.  An easy but less secure way is to use the same password for 
both.  If you use different passwords be sure you don't forget!  Best to 
write the password down and hide it in case you need it later.  Then of 
course your only problem is remembering where you hid the piece of paper 
  with the magic word on it...

It's not that big a deal since the clear cmos jumper will overide any
password. Exception: some laptops.
